I also leave them a note with our names and contact details - just in case they have an emergency :)Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-4256205552810024172012-07-18T15:10:26.166+02:002012-07-18T15:10:26.166+02:00I have been thinking of you, and praying that all ...I have been thinking of you, and praying that all of this goes smoothly. I remember moving to the back of beyond so well myself. Lovely lasagne and salad ! Twenty years ago we moved to a home where the neighbors helped us unload and provided a wonderful meal. It hasn't happened on moves since then ! It was such a blessing that now I try to do the same for people, when possible.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-61063364696463523132012-07-18T14:05:19.800+02:002012-07-18T14:05:19.800+02:00David - Yeah - I reckon I should keep them...
